Advice I’ve given to many portcos recently: - Set an emergency button 🚨 - Make it objective, so that the default option is the desired action - Trigger could be runway threshold or user growth # or revenue run rate - Action could be layoffs, fundraise, change product approach

@useFluent is a browser extension that teaches you a new language while you browse the web, solving the biggest problem in language learning – the vast majority of learners fail, because they can’t keep up with practice. #27Vfam

If you don’t have at least 15 months of runway, you’ll need to let people go – and the earlier you do it, the better. The worst thing you can do is start with a small round of layoffs, only to make a second round of cuts – it will kill morale and essentially cause more harm.

With great power (usage) comes great (ethical) responsibility. EdTech companies are revolutionizing learning, but like any fast growing industry- best practices continue to develop & refine. There's no doubt edtech is paving a safe & beneficial path. edtechnology.co.uk/international/…

"For every dollar spent, you should earn at least one dollar back. Think about cash burn from a gross versus net perspective, so that your revenue just becomes a bonus.” - @batraatin

Cliches are cliches for a reason. In business, as in life, timing is everything. The best way to take advantage of opportunity is to always be prepared to pounce. Build lasting relationships, co-create goals everyone supports, set yourself up for success by constantly evolving.

With the pandemic receding, many institutions are reverting to the mean, clinging to traditional ways to work rather than embracing recent lessons. As Higher Ed struggles with its place in the world, retaining - & delighting talent - will be crucial. edsurge.com/news/2022-05-0…
